FIRE PREVENTION
The machine has components that are at high temperature under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high
temperatures is the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a
source of arcs or sparks.
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it can
cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine compartment is a potential
fire hazard.
• Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive
dust or gases.
• The operator cab, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if
necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.
• Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace
any damaged part.
• Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to
check for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel
fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.
• Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine which has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and
injure you or bystanders.
• Always clean the machine, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the electronic controllers before
welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine when
welding. Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
• Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking!
• Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.
• Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. Fire extinguishers are available from
your Massey Ferguson dealer,
